BATTERY AND CHARGER

Li-Ion battery box

Charging status

indication

Both the standard Li-Ion battery or 4 x AA alkaline batteries can be used.

Li-Ion battery pack

FL 69 HP comes with Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack. Connect the

charger with the battery pack and the the socket.

Permanent red light (at the charger) indicates that the batteries

are being charged.

Permanent green light (at the charger) indicates that the batteries

are fully charged.

The working time with fully charged battery pack is approx. 6 -14 h

(depending upon the number of lines in use).

4 x AA alkaline batteries

FL 69 HP can be used with alkaline batteries alternatively.

Please use the separate battery case (supplied with).

Unscrew the lock screw of the battery door and remove

the Li-Ion compartment.

Insert 4 x AA alkaline batteries according to the description

(ensure correct polarity!)

Whilst use of alkaline batteries the recharging function is disabled.

NB
Do not charge the instrument during a longer period (i. e. a weekend) without control!

ATTENTION

The Li-Ion battery pack can also be charged outside of the instrument.

OPERATION

SET UP OPTIONS

• on any flat surface

• on the integrated floor tripod supplied with the kit

• on a builder‘s tripod using the 5/8“ retaining bolt

Set up the instrument as upright as possible to allow the

self-levelling system to function within the range.

If necessary centre the ciruclar bubble (5) by means of

the height adjustable tripod legs.

ROTATABLE CIRCLE AND TANGENT SCREW

The FL 69 HP is equipped with a 360° rotatable circle.

The laser can be rotated by hand or carefully by use of

the tangent screw (6).

POWER ON

Turn the ON / OFF knob to position „ON“ and the instrument is ready for use. The laser lines can now

be switched on and off independently of each other or altoghether (see the drawing).

A visible (blinking lines) and audible alarm indicates if the instrument is set up outside of the self-

levelling range. If so, re-position the instrument on a more level surface.

To power off turn the ON / OFF knob to „OFF“.

The instrument is now switched off and the compensator is locked to avoid damages during

transportation.

NB:

During transportation ensure that the ON / OFF knob is set to position „OFF“.

Disregard may lead to damage of the self-levelling mechanism.

The laser lines can be switched on and off independently of each other or altogether:

Line H1

Line H2

Line V1

Line V2

MANUAL FUNCTION (TILT)

The MANUAL function is only available with the power ON / OFF knob set to position „OFF“ (otherwise

the visible and audible alarm would be activated). Press the MANUAL button (3) and choose the desired

laser lines. The FL 69 HP can now be used in slope mode.

USE WITH RECEIVER FR 55

To extend the working range or for use in unfavourable light conditions the FL 69 HP can be used

with receiver FR 55.

The receiver is included with art.-no. 581510 and is optional with art.-no. 581500.

Press button (3) (pulse mode LED (7) will illuminate) to change from normal

to receiver mode. The receiver can now detect the FL 69 HP laser lines (the

visibility of the laser lines are weaker in this mode).

The working range can be extended up to 60 meters by using a receiver.

You will find more detailed information in the receiver user manual.

IMPORTANT

– move the receiver FR 55 up and down carefully to detect the laser beam. FL 69 HP

and FR 55 are working with another technology than rotating laser levels. Because of this the receiver

FR 55 must be moved much more slowly.

INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES

•Open the battery compartment cover (14).

•Insert 1 x 9 V AA battery according to the installation symbol (ensure correct polarity!) and close the

cover

•In order to save battery power the receiver will automatically turn off if it has not received a laser

scanning signal for 10 minutes.

USE OF THE RECEIVER

Press button (3) to switch the receiver on (red light). Activate the pulse function at the line laser.

Move the receiver FR 55 up and down

carefully

to detect the laser beam.

Detection of the laser signal:

Move the receiver down

Acoustic signal : ultra-short requent beep

Move the receiver up

Acoustic signal: short requent beep

On level

Acoustic signal: continuous beep

SAFETY NOTES

INTENDED USE OF INSTRUMENT

The instrument emits a visible laser beam in order to carry out the following measuring tasks (depen-

ding on instrument): Setting up heights, horizontal and vertical planes, right angles and plumbing points.

CARE AND CLEANING
